It's been quite a few years since I have made any Lory or Lorikeet species, and I was needing some new photos for my website, so I picked the Rainbow/Green Naped Lorikeet as the Bird of the Month! In addition, I created a few other Lories that I've never made before! It is incredible how very many lorikeet species and subspecies there are, all of which are so beautiful, I had a hard time picking just a few!

The jewelry on auction for the next THREE DAYS include the following: Rainbow bracelet charm, Rainbow choker necklace, Rainbow glass beaded bracelet, Rainbow pendant, and a Rainbow glass beaded necklace/earring set! There is also a Scaly-breasted Lorikeet glass beaded necklace/earring set, and a pair of Chattering Lory charm dangle earrings!

Besides the Lorikeets, there are also some other new pieces, including the Green and Yellow Christmas Budgie shown below, a blue Budgie not shown, and several new humorous "bird poop" items!

I am offering a Buy It Now option this time for those of you wanting to purchase items quickly for gift giving! Please note however, that once an item receives a bid, the Buy It Now option disappears. (So, to make an instant purchase without waiting for the auction to end, you must snap up the item before it has bids.) Go to my eBay Store to see all of the creations available!

Don't forget, there is a sale on my inventory of eBay Store items until Christmas! There is still time to snap up some unique gifts for your bird loving friends!

Killian, Kaleena and I want to wish you and your loved ones a wonderful Thanksgiving. It's a perfect time of the year to take some time to reflect on the many blessings in our lives - and one of the things I am so very grateful for is your continued interest and support of my artwork through the years! Many of you have consistently been following my work, some from the very beginning 10 years ago, and have become treasured loyal customers. I can't even say how much it means to me - thank you!

One way I can show my appreciation is to offer another sale - so from now until Christmas, I am putting all current eBay Store Items on SALE - 5% off!

Can it really be that time of the year already? It doesn't seem possible, but the air is getting crisp, leaves are turning, and the holidays are just around the corner! Killian, Kaleena and I hope that you and your feathered friends have a fun Halloween!

Talking about Halloween, I have created three special one-of-a-kind pieces to celebrate this month's holiday: a Sun Conure Pumpkin Pin (or Magnet), Congo Grey Pumpkin Necklace and Timneh Grey Witch necklace! You can check them out on eBay this week on auction.

Earlier this year I was introduced to the magnificent Red-Tailed Black Cockatoos of Australia by one of my wonderful ornithologist customers! I had never seen photos of them before, or even heard of them before for that matter, since they are very rare here in the US. I was itching to sculpt something new that I've never created before, so I chose the male of this species for the October Bird of the Month!

The male Red-Tailed Black Cockatoos on auction for the next week include the following: bracelet charm, choker necklace, pendant on cord, and a glass beaded necklace/earring set!

Well, it's springtime at last here in the midwest! I wanted to do something bright and cheery, so have chosen a lovely yellow bird for this month's Bird of the Month, the Lutino Indian Ringneck Parakeet!

The creations on auction for the next six days include the following, (one each in both a male AND female version): bracelet charm, choker necklace, pendant on cord, glass beaded bracelet, and a glass beaded necklace/earring set!

Only the male Ringnecks are shown in the picture here, so please see my auctions to view the Lutino females too! There is one Blue Male Ringneck charm also on sale this week.

With Easter just around the corner, I have two special pieces for you just in time! There is an adorable blue Budgie Easter Basket Pin, and a Male Lutino Indian Ringneck Easter Basket Necklace, both on auction this week on eBay.

Here is another one of my "scrap clay parrots", made from bits of leftover clay and formed into a uniquely colored bird! This one is a pendant on a cord, with some glass beads embedded on the bird.

To celebrate the arrival of Spring, from now until the 31st, I'm having a Spring Sale in my eBay Store! All "Buy it Now" items are 5% off, stop by and have a look!
